Research in medical education has made decisive advances over the past decade. As a result, forms of teaching have been adapted in response to research findings about how we learn, exams have been adjusted to the needs of physicians, and curricula are continually being reformed and rethought in the context of rapid advances in medical knowledge. Studies evaluating educational interventions have played a central role in this process. Long-term outcomes of medical education, however, have not been studied extensively. How is theoretical knowledge put into practice, and how can the transfer be fostered in the educational process? These questions apply to all levels of medical education and everyday clinical work. The 2nd International Conference on Research in Medical Education focuses on this transfer from lecture halls, labs, and books into clinical practice at all levels of medical expertise.
At the same time, the conference also marks the 10th anniversary of the foundation of the Competence Centre in University Teaching in Medicine. In its first decade, the Competence Centre has paved the way for the integration of teaching qualifications in the academic career. It has designed and provided a curriculum for the systematic training of academic teachers, later widening its scope to include conference skills and career development for young researchers and students nationally and internationally. Initiating and conducting research in medical education has been another integral part of our efforts. We invite you to celebrate with us at this conference on advances in research in medical education.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
